The Infamous Truth

7: The old days

Alycia's POV
I choked on my ice cream hearing what Eliza said looked back at her. "Hm..?" I hummed in response, afraid my voice would crack if I spoke. I knew what she said but had no idea how to respond so maybe acting like I didn't hear her would work. Also trying to ignore how insanely hot it is how confident she's being. I've never seen her like this... "Oh nothing..." Eliza said as she looked down at her ice cream and continued to eat it. She looked like she was nervous again. Ok how is she hot when she confident and when she's shy?!

"Do you want to... maybe stay here tonight? Seeing as we both just took a nap like all day and it's 8 pm I thought we could watch a movie or something..? Or not if you don't want to..." Eliza asked shyly. I smile at how she could change from so confident to shy so quickly. "I would love to. It'll be like our sleepovers years ago." I said looking back in Eliza's direction. Then a thought popped in my head and I said it excitedly "Oh my god we could play some music too! You singing and play guitar while Marie and I play drums!.. Just like the old days.." I smile at all the happy memories we had together and Eliza looked back at me, not as nervous as she was a second ago. She smiled at how excited I got and responded "We can.. under one condition..." she paused and I got impatient. "And that is..?" I ask, leaning towards her as I extend the S with questioning eyes. "You sing at least one song." Eliza blurts out. Before I could protest she continues "And before you say no, I want to say that you are an amazing singer and I know it. No buts. I remember that day I heard you in the shower and it was amazing!" I look at her and process what she's said before responding. "Thank you... but I don't know Liza..." I said while getting up. I placed my bowl in the sink and began washing it. "Oh come ooooon! Pleeeease?" Eliza said as she gets up also and wraps her arms around my waist, hugging me from behind. "For me?" She said looking at me with puppy eyes over my shoulder. I look at her and a warm feeling fills me. I can't keep the smile off my face as I turn off the water and turn around in her arms to face her. "Fine." I say as I place my hands on her hips. "I'll think about it" I mumble.

My eyes roam over her lips for a second before they go back to her eyes. I know she saw it when she smirks and leans in to place a soft kiss on my lips. It was quick but filled me with so much warmth. We stayed like this for a while, holding each other and looking in each other's eyes. We smiled at each other until a voice pulled us out of our trance.

"Oh come on! Are you guys always kissing?! And when the hell did this happen because I feel like I missed like a whole year or something?" Marie says as she walks into the kitchen. We both look at her and separate. Both of us opened our mouths to explain but neither of us knew what to say. "So Lycia agreed to sing a song tonight, you playing drums?" Eliza finally said, filling the silence. I guess she decided to just brush off the whole topic. Marie moved her eyes from me to Eliza, searching us with a questionable gaze before answering "Yeah sure..." she said before it seemed like a lightbulb went off in her head "Wait Lycia can sing?!" She exclaimed. "Yeah oh my god you have to hear her. She's amazing!" Eliza says as we ignore what Marie walked into. "Ok I'm not that good. I sing in the shower sometimes and that's it." I say so she doesn't get her hopes up. "Yeah I know. I heard you remember? You're fantastic Lycia!" Eliza says. I roll my eyes remembering the fright she gave me that day.

"Um.. you heard Lycia sing... in the shower?" Marie asks suspiciously. Eliza and I share a look before she replies. "...I had to pee..." she says quietly. "Oh my god I swear you two are like an old married couple already! You still haven't answered my question... when did this happen?" Marie asked pointing and me then Eliza. Of course the topic is brought up again. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I say quickly before speed walking out of the kitchen. "Oh come on! You can't deny anything, I walking in on you guys twice!" Marie yells as I go down the hall to Eliza's room. "Hey where are you going! That's my room!" I hear Eliza yell before I shut the door.

I still don't know why I came to Eliza's room, I just needed to get out of that conversation. Once I'm in there I look around for an excuse to stop that conversation. My eyes stop on the guitar in the corner and I smile at it, seeing where Eliza, Marie, and I carved our names into the wood. I go to pick it up and I run my fingers over the carved wood. I hear the door open behind me and turn around with the guitar in my arms. Eliza comes in and looks at the guitar in my hands curiously.

Eliza's POV
I walk into my room and see Alycia holding my guitar. I smile as I say "You want me to teach you?" She laughs at me as she places it back down on the stand. "What you don't think I could?" I ask going over to pick it up. I strum a few strings to make sure it's in tune. "Not your fault, I'm just more of a percussionist." Alycia says. I look up to see her sitting on the bed and watching me. "But you should play though." She says with a smile. "I'll play if you sing." I say walking up to her. "Not gonna happen, Liza. Give it up already." She says as she leans back against the headboard and swings her legs around onto the bed. I go to close and lock the door and then head back to her. "Just me and you, no one else has to hear." I say, sitting down on the edge of the bed next to her legs.

Alycia narrows her eyes at me suspiciously before asking "Why do you want me to sing so bad anyways?" I look at her and take a deep breath and sigh. I set down the guitar on the end of the bed and crawl up on top of her. "Because.. you.. sound.. amazing..." I say, giving her a quick peck on the lips between each word. After the last word the kiss lasted a bit longer and Alycia put her hand on the back of my neck to deepen the kiss before I could pull away. She sat up and pushed me to the bed so she was on top of me, lips still locked. The once innocent little peck turned into a full make out session with Alycia on top of me. We separate only when we needed air and we looked into each other's eyes, both out of breath. She lets her arms bend and lays her head on my chest with the rest of her body limp on mine. "Damn.. feisty lycia.." I mumble under my heavy breath.

"You know it's frustrating how convincing you can be." Alycia says when we finally catch our breath. "So you'll do it?!" I ask excitedly. She lifts her head and rests her chin on me instead so she could look at me. "Yes... but only us two. Marie will make me nervous considering the fact that you told her I'm amazing." she says. "I mean you are so why would I not tell her that?" I reply with a smile. She just looks at me like she's not impressed with my words and then gets off of me. She gets the guitar and gives it to me. "What do you want to sing?" I ask.
